The Lockin Period is 3 years because before budget 2019 3 years LTCG No tax (But Now LTCG 1 year with 10% Tax on above 1 lakh profit). Govt may increase lock-in period up to 5 years because of the huge demand for ELSS But Huge risk& returns too. but indirectly added LTCG 10%. *

Why Elss Returns are low in the 1st year?

What if I stop ELSS before 3 years?

Neither you can withdraw nor you can switch funds from ELSS schemes before completion of 3 years from the date of investment.

  1. Each SIP or lump sum will have its own lock-in of 3 years from its date of investment
  2. you can not withdraw before the lock-in period at any cost at all.
  3. Returns taxed at 10% if more than 1 Lakh.

 
Can I stop my ELSS SIP?
Yes, you can, but you can withdraw after 3 years only. (NoTe every SIP as a separate investment so the lockin period applies to every SIP, not for entire). minimum SIP period is 6 months.

Canceling happens to remove biller account accounts from bank. 2nd-way login Mutual fund account website and raise a cancel request so there are no charges. but you can not withdraw until the lock-in period.
